Why would you think that?
Well I'll put it this way. I don't think the move from 45nm to 28nm - which has taken eASIC 3 years - comes without a need for new equipment for their inhouse engineers.
If you know any different let me know but it's a bit of a side issue and I think you are just trying to start an argument??
It is all a bit moot though, as it seems pretty unlikely eASIC is involved with the 28nm design.
If this is, in fact, the case, the 1mil NRE to eASIC would be considered, for lack of better term,
poof?
if indeed it is poof, that's an expensive education. and to think we as shareholders funded that...
